Literally seen more whining about politics than I’ve seen politics.
Does your instance federate with Hexbear and Lemmygrad? Because I constantly have those people in my feed and it’s absolutely exhausting. I see more memes about burning the rich and starting a revolution than normal memes in my feed. I’m left-wing, but I’m not looking at memes to constantly be confronted with politics. Unfortunately instance blocking isn’t working well for me yet
Oh I wish to stop looking at shit memes, but if more than half of them are tankie crap it’s obviously going to degrade the experience
I do. And it doesn’t phase me, just scroll on past, like that homeless man you ignore in the street.
Make your own instance with the politics you want.
There is no such thing as non-political spaces, only spaces where everyone has pre-agreed on what politics are acceptable.
There is no such thing as a non-political discussion either! ;) everything is politics in some sense
Average comment: “I’m glad to see more female engineers. Historically they have been disfranchised.”
MFers like OP: “Why would you bring politics into this?”
I am wary of people using an unspecified “politics tho” like this. More than once the “”“PoLiTiCs”“” they meant were LGBTQIA+ people simply existing.
Honestly I never got why LGBT+ is even a political thing. It’s just basic human rights. But probably my opinion will be seen as politics by some.
That was my point. It’s NOT political. The right is just using their existence as a scape goat.
If there are two or more people, there are politics. I agree with the idea that people who decry ‘politics’ often have disgusting ideas and beliefs. Its a malignant form of privilege to pretend to be able to ignore politics. It’s either that or they are just a little dim and don’t feel they can keep up in a conversation.
Talking about Trump on every other thread has nothing to do with politics either, I assume?
Almost everything conceivable has a political angle of some sort.
What people that complain about politics generally mean is “politics that they notice that make them uncomfortable.”
I wish people would stop using “politics” as a buzzword for every bit of news they don’t care to hear about.
News is fine.
It’s when people start screaming/blaming the “left” or “right”, the “biden” or “trump”, etc.
Extra annoying when I am not even fucking American and have to hear Americans scream about your old senile corpses you call presidents in EVERY FUCKING POST.
Extra extra annoying when I am reading a news article about my country, and Americans roll in screaming about how that’s “bidens fault” or “illegal in montana”. Learn to fucking read where you are.
How does this compare to other western countries?
